Yesterday morning was one of those morning where you could not go wrong. the weather was incredible, superb light, the subject were there and I was able to talked rubbish to a friend of mine during three hours…what else would you want ?????? 🙂 🙂

On Sunday afternoon, I was back at my “hare paradise”. I came across one eye Joe but could not take any shots of the little tyke. The good news is that all the sheep have been removed.
Now, the grass, flowers will start to grow…I can wait for the weather to get a bit warmer to kick start spring properly…

Cant` beat a good strech.

I have sen this hare before, easely recognisable. he has got a double chin!

Before work, Yesterday evening I went to my “Hare paradise”. It was going to be a beautiful sunset. For quite a while now, I have been after a shot . I wanted to photograph a hare running in Front of the sun at eye level. Easy thing to say but not easy thing to do. Well, yesterday I was lucky…But I will have to go back…I am sure that it is possible to do Better! 🙂 it always is…

Hoar frost is not something I have the chance to photograph often. Well last Sunday I took loads of pictures of hares, Chinese water deer in hoar frost. It was spectacular. Of course I was at my “Hare Paradise” and I had a cracking time with my little friends….

When the sun rises, it is always a battle to find a subject to place in the frame. You need to be very quick as “that” moment does not last very long…maybe 5 minutes at best, after the sun is too high and it`s too late,. This time I was lucky! you need a bit of luck from time to time.. 🙂

The light was gorgeous

I was able to come very close to this one. Taken about 3 metres away with 70-200mm. The sheep in the background were a bonus! 🙂

After a while I came across this chap. A very tame Chinese water deer.

As I was saying in a previous post , I had an incredible day at my “Hare paradise”. We do not have snow often in this part of the world, so when there is snow, you have to know where to go. It is always a short window, so you have to capitalised on that short opportunities .

I just could not go wrong that day. I photograph everything I wanted to photograph and as a bonus I had some incredible behaviours…

The eye of the male (Left) was taking out by the female (Right) while I was there. the male wanted to mate and the female was not too keen! (They never are!)

The male was very persistent

At the end he had his reward.

While photographing hares, I also came across Grey partridge and Chinese water deer.
